I ask him all about his policy platform, what the NDP needs to do to win back the working-class majority. and the biggest issues facing Canadians right now. We get into Ashton's labour-first strategy, his comprehensive labor reform, whether higher union density risks inflation, what “full employment” should mean, how to rebuild domestic industry without turning it into corporate welfare, and why he thinks the NDP can become a party of real worker power again.Timestamps:00:00:00 Intro00:01:21 Why run for NDP leader as a non-career politician?00:05:02 Why the NDP lost working-class support00:11:46 Temporary Foreign Worker program, wage suppression, and migrant rights00:19:07 How to make unionization easier, labour law reforms, union busting00:32:13 Inflation, wages, and the “wage-price spiral” debate00:34:33 Bank of Canada, full employment, and job guarantee talk00:43:48 Free trade, protectionism, and rebuilding Canadian industry00:49:13 “Pre-distribution” vs redistribution, what it means in plain language01:00:49 Defence procurement, shipbuilding, and reindustrialization01:04:20 Climate policy, nuclear, and a worker-centered transition01:10:23 Alberta, energy jobs, tanker ban, and Indigenous consentGUEST:Rob Ashton, NDP leadership candidate, trade unionist (ILWU Canada)• Rob's campaign: https://robashton.ca/• Meet Rob: https://robashton.ca/meet-rob/• Rob Ashton on X: https://x.com/Rob_T_E_Ashton• NDP leadership contestants page: https://leadership.ndp.ca/contestantsHow to vote in the NDP leadership race• Become an NDP member: https://act.ndp.ca/donate/membership-en• Leadership 2026 hub: https://leadership.ndp.ca/• Leadership FAQ and voting info: https://leadership.ndp.ca/faq• Rules governing the leadership contest (official PDF): https://www.ndp.ca/sites/default/files/2026-leadershipgoverningrules.pdfFOLLOW 1Dime:• Substack (Articles and Essays): https://1dimereview.substack.com/• X/Twitter: https://x.com/1DimeOfficial• Instagram: instagram.com/1dimeman• Check out my main channel videos: https://www.youtube.com/@1DimeeLeave a like, drop a comment, and give the show a 5-star rating on Spotify, Apple, or wherever you listen to this.

It's April of 2011. A man named Anxiang Du opens an envelope from the court. Inside, he finds a legal document that would change his life, and the lives of another family completely. For Du, he had been mired in more than a decade of legal disputes and now, there was no more room left for him to run. That very night, he would write a farewell note to his family, before proceeding to commit one of Britain's most chilling crimes. Part 1 - We trace the history and tense relationship between the Dus and the Dings. Where their business partnership originated from, and how it soured to a messy legal battle that pushed Du to the brink. Part 2 - We follow Du as he slips across the border and vanishes after his horrific act, leading authorities from multiple agencies on a wild chase that spanned years and continents.

Get access to The Backroom (95+ exclusive episodes of 1Dime Radio) on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/OneDimeIn this episode, friend of the show, Philosopher Dave McKerracher of Theory Underground, and I dig into the idea of “radical responsibility,” basically the notion that if you're trying to change the world, you've got more responsibility on your shoulders, not less. We talk about how bad messaging, cringe behavior, and ideological shortcuts can tank movements, including a wild DSA mishap. Pulling from Max Weber, history, and everyday politics, we argue that real progress comes down to considering real consequences and what a majority of people can actually get behind. In the Backroom, Dave and I continue our spicy conversation on “Progress and Reaction,” taking a deeper look at how parts of the left end up functioning as “shocktroops for capital.”Timestamps: 0:00 Trump's ICE Raids (Preview)3:43 The Importance of Radical Responsibility 30:45 The Responsibility of the Radical Right53:04 DSA Disaster 1:09:14 Nick Fuentes' Rise 1:25:49 Ends, means, & Intentions: The Ethics of Conviction vs ResponsibilityGUEST:David McKerracher (Theory Underground)• Theory Underground (YouTube): https://www.youtube.com/@theory_underground• McKerracher of TU (X): https://x.com/theoryundrgrnd• Theory Underground (Substack): https://theoryunderground.substack.com/• Underground Theory Volume 2 on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0FZBNYSF9FOLLOW 1Dime:• Substack (Articles and Essays): https://1dimereview.substack.com• X/Twitter: https://x.com/1DimeOfficial• Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/tonyof1dime/• Check out my main channel videos: https://www.youtube.com/@1DimeeLeave a like, drop a comment, and give the show a 5-star rating on Spotify, Apple, or wherever you listen to this.

Exploring a 1949 article C. S. Lewis wrote, "On Church Music," in which he tackles the ongoing argument about musical style and quality in church and concludes that the best worship is when we dislike the style but sing anyway because our fellow brothers and sisters seem to be edified by it, for true worship is sacrifice. We include pieces from "Correspondence with an Anglican who Dislikes Hymns" (1946) and Lewis' review of The Oxford Book of Christian Verse (1940, published in Image and Imagination).

Get access to The Backroom (90+ exclusive episodes) on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/OneDimeIn this episode of 1Dime Radio, I sit down with Harper O'Connor, a rising Socialist YouTuber and DSA organizer, to make the socialist case for National Service and how the millitary can be transformed and used to solve climate change. This ain't just a case for millitary conscription or to bring back the millitary draft per se, but rather for a broader, socialist vision of National Service. This includes the idea of a Civilian Climate Corps and broader service programs that could rebuild state capacity, civic trust, shared purpose, and the social fabric that atomized capitalism keeps dissolving. In the Backroom Exclusive podcast on Patreon, Harper and I talk about how the Left lost younger men, why the far right is winning the “spiritual crisis,” and what a left-wing alternative could be, and we talk socialist strategy more broadly.Timestamps:00:00:00 Why the Left Lost Young Men (The Backroom Preview)00:06:03 The Civilian Climate Corps00:11:41 Were not in Kansas anymore: Harper's Political Journey00:16:51 The Citizen Army Idea: A Socialist Republican Idea00:22:03 What if Everyone Joined the Military? 00:27:34 Belonging, Comradery, and Solidarity00:33:17 Build Stuff, Save Lives, Learn Life Skills, Make Friends00:37:06 Conscription Makes it Harder to Go to War00:44:20 “Isn't This Just Legitimizing Empire?”00:49:22 Civic Duty, Coercion, and Collectivism00:57:10 The Masculinity Crisis01:04:44 Socialism or Eco-Fascism01:17:43 Closing + The Backroom TeaserGUEST:Harper O'Connor, Socialist YouTuber and DSA organizer• YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@UCZDSz1E3rJ18vefmK7Hw4YA • “A Guide to Democratic Socialists of America” (video): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ijlg0phla-sFOLLOW 1Dime:• Substack (Articles and Essays): https://substack.com/@tonyof1dime• X/Twitter: https://x.com/1DimeOfficial• Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/tonyof1dime/• Check out my main channel videos: https://www.youtube.com/@1DimeeLeave a like, drop a comment, and give the show a 5-star rating on Spotify, Apple, or wherever you listen to this.
Albania was once the strictest and most isolated of the Communist countries and was sometimes called the “North Korea” of Europe. Saimir Braho was born in Albania during the Communist regime and witnessed the period of religious turmoil that came after the collapse of Communism. Saimir eventually embraced the truth of Christianity, despite living in a country in which talking about God had been grounds for imprisonment and believing in Christ had been illegal.The Reformers and Their StepchildrenYuriy Kravets' StorySpecial thanks to Credo Schloss Unspunnen for the filming location and hospitality.

It all took place on a quiet night in June of 1991. By the time morning came, three members of the Vizconde family would be found brutally murdered inside their home in BF Homes, Parañaque, in the Philippines. A mother stabbed multiple times to her death, her eldest daughter stabbed and sexually assaulted, and even the youngest daughter, just seven years old, was not spared either. It was a crime so brutal and shocking that it left an indelible mark on the nation, quickly drawing widespread media attention, but ultimately leaving the family still searching for justice. Part 1 - We detail the immediate aftermath of the brutal attack in June of 1991, as well as the complications surrounding the investigation of this case. Part 2 - We follow up with the lead suspects of the case, as well as the controversial court case that many wouldn't soon forget.

Get access to The Backroom (90+ exclusive episodes) and support 1Dime Radio: https://www.patreon.com/OneDimeThis week on 1Dime Radio, I am joined by Noj Rants, one of the sharpest new voices in Soviet history on YouTube. We go straight at the myths that both mainstream commentators and newer Marxist sympathizers tend to repeat, especially about the Lenin era, the Soviets themselves, and how the Soviet state actually functioned. We talk about bad historiography, timeline compression, “Lenin died, then Stalin took over” simplifications, Civil War narratives, archives, and why so much of Soviet history discourse ends up polarized into propaganda versus counterpropaganda. In the Backroom segment on Patreon, NOJ Rants, and I keep going for four more hours, continuing the conversation. It is split into two parts, covering a wide range of Soviet history debates across multiple periods. In these two Patreon exclusive episodes, NOJ Rants, and I continue our conversation about contentious events in Soviet history, from the development of the Bolshevik one‑party state to the realities of Soviet “democracy.” We also discuss the Stalin period, the Red Purges, and NOJ Rants' hot takes on Marxism‑Leninism and the lessons of Soviet state-building. I basically throw every question you can imagine at him and get his take on the biggest controversies, interpretations, and myths. We also get into the state of left-wing YouTube today, and how prominent leftist creators, especially Marxist-Leninists, tend to cover Soviet history.Timestamps:00:00:00 The Backroom Preview 00:04:51 The Best Soviet History YouTuber00:10:05 Where to start reading Soviet history, the best historians and books00:20:19 Stalin Wasn't a Dictator According to the CIA? 00:37:43 The Soviet archives 00:42:36 How the Russian Civil War Timeline Gets Re-Written00:44:44 Soviet elections, Mensheviks, SRs, & the Socialist Opposition00:47:43 The Truth About Imperialist Encirclement01:11:52 The Constituent Assembly and Bolshevik Consolidation01:29:05 Was Soviet Democracy a real thing? 01:33:19 Prelude to the 4-hour Backroom Segment (Parts 2 and 2)GUEST:NOJ Rants (YouTuber, Soviet history)• YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@nojrantsFOLLOW 1Dime:• Substack (Articles and Essays): https://substack.com/@tonyof1dime• X/Twitter: https://x.com/1DimeOfficial• Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/tonyof1dime/• Check out my main channel videos: https://www.youtube.com/@1Dimee #soviethistory #sovietunion #russianrevolution Leave a like, drop a comment, and give the show a 5-star rating on Spotify, Apple, or wherever you listen to this.

Indian Bengali writer Amitav Ghosh has been writing about empire, the environment, and other subjects for the past 25 years. Now, he has gathered some of his essays into a new collection called Wild Fictions, which asks big questions about the way humans are connected to other forms of life. In today's episode, Ghosh joins NPR's Scott Simon for a conversation that touches on climate change as a problem of politics, culture, and imagination. They also discuss an idea central to Ghosh's thought: that anthropocentrism is responsible for our current planetary crisis.To listen to Book of the Day sponsor-free and support NPR's book coverage, sign up for Book of the Day+ at plus.npr.org/bookofthedayLearn more about sponsor message choices: podcastchoices.com/adchoicesNPR Privacy Policy
The Nicene Creed has been a bedrock of Christian orthodoxy for 1700 years. But what is it and why was it written? Does the Nicene Creed still matter today? Stephen Russell describes what led to the formation of the Nicene Creed. He argues that we, like the early Anabaptists, should affirm and use the Nicene Creed in our lives and churches.In this episode Stephen briefly mentions catechesis (instruction class).

As we open 2026, David looks backward to get clearer about what really matters going forward. In the eighth installment of Essays From Yesterday, he revisits four Rule Breaker essays written between 2006 and 2014—spanning market sell-offs, forgotten drawdowns, early buyouts, language that shapes behavior, and the enduring power of mindset. Along the way, we're reminded that sharp declines happen more often than we remember, that short-term scorecards mislead, and that a handful of great winners can overwhelm many mistakes. This lesson-filled episode makes the case for capital “H” History as an investor's secret weapon—and for why perspective, patience, and precise thinking continue year after year to crush the stock market averages. • (5:02) Introduction to July 2006 Issue • (15:55) The Tim Beyers Issue • (27:42) Greatest Issue Ever • (37:26) Starter Stocks Companies mentioned: AKAM, APKT, CRM, GOOG, ISRG, MELI, NILE, PDLI, QLIK Host: David GardnerProducer: Bart Shannon Learn more about your ad choices.

A mother stabbed multiple times to her death, her eldest daughter stabbed and sexually assaulted, and even the youngest daughter, just seven years old, was not spared either. It was a crime so brutal and shocking that it left an indelible mark on the nation, quickly drawing widespread media attention, but ultimately leaving the family still searching for justice. Part 1 - We detail the immediate aftermath of the brutal attack in June of 1991, as well as the complications surrounding the investigation of this case. Part 2 - We follow up with the lead suspects of the case, as well as the controversial court case that many wouldn't soon forget.

It's becoming almost a tradition that when I need to talk about something really difficult, I invite David Gate on the Podcast. David is a former worship leader, recording artist turned author who has a keen eye about what is happening in the world. And he's not afraid to tell it like it is. David wrote an article recently called “The Soundtrack For American Fascism is Worship Music” – I know, pretty intense. But also not entirely hard to believe, if you're paying attention. In this conversation we talk about it – how worship music can be co-opted to serve anti-Christian political agendas. How easy it is for our Christianity to become enmeshed with our politics to the point where we can't tell where one begins and the other ends. We look historically at how Hitler co-opted the music of Wagner to serve his political aims. How worship music can be manipulative in healthy and unhealthy ways. We talk about choosing songs and what to do if you're tired of mainstream, popular worship music. The conversation ends with some music recommendations and thoughts on David's creative process. This is a difficult chat, but a great one. You'll be uncomfortable frequently. You may disagree some. But I guarantee it will challenge your thinking and improve your ministry life if you allow it. This is David Santistevan. You can email me any time at David@beyondsundayworship.com. As always, thanks for listening. Topics Covered: When David first noticed the politicization of American worship music What David liked and disliked about the worship industry, as an insider The musician similarities and differences between worship music and Wagner How Hitler co-opted Wagner to serve his political agenda Why it’s not crazy to consider how worship music can serve authoritarian regimes Paying attention to how worship music can manipulate a room The difference between empathy and worship Healthy and unhealthy triumphalism in church Debrief of the Charlie Kirk memorial and what we can learn from it Pro football/College football and racism What to do if you can’t stomach singing popular worship music in church A true definition of Christian persecution Resources Mentioned: Show Sponsor: Planning Center David Gate The Soundtrack For American Fascism is Worship Music by David Gate A Rebellion of Care: Poems & Essays by David Gate Nested in Tangles by Hannah Frances Baby by Dijon Show Sponsor: This episode is sponsored by Planning Center, an all-in-one church management software made to help churches help people. You can organize your ministries and keep everyone on your team communicating and aligned around what's going on. As a worship leader, good communication is key to building a strong worship team. You can cultivate relationships while ensuring everyone has what they need to successfully prep for your services. But why not take it up a notch using the chat feature? Built right into the Services mobile app—which, by the way, you should totally download if you haven't already—chat helps you coordinate all the service details with your team. Plus, you can have fun while doing it! No more juggling emails, group texts, and multiple apps to ensure your whole team is aligned. Chat will simplify your communication in one convenient place through the Services mobile app. And everyone can ask questions, request prayer, or join the banter in real-time with one another. The really cool part about chatting with your teams? Team members are dynamically added or removed from conversations as availability changes! So if your original bass player suddenly declines (why is it so hard to find a bass player, anyway?), your newly scheduled bass player is automatically added to the chat conversation. All of your chat conversations stay in sync. No more outdated group threads or irrelevant messages! So what are you waiting for? Download the Services app and start chatting!

In this essay we explore three short pieces by C. S. Lewis which capture Lewis's heart to find, believe, live, and preach 'Mere Christianity'. The essay "Christian Reunion" is actually a piece he penned on the back of notes for his 1944 Mere Christianity broadcasts. We begin with an editorial letter, "The Holy Name" which Lewis wrote to a magazine in 1951, and another editorial back and forth Lewis was writing in 1949, published now as "The Church's Liturgy, Invocation, and Invocation of the Saints."

Heiko and Sabine grew up in Germany in homes that did not foster relationship with Christ. Together they tell the story of their journey towards Christ. Before conversion, they experienced love from Christians which pointed to the truth of Christianity. After conversion, Scripture became a powerful force for change in their lives, and Jesus' redemptive work saved their marriage.Special thanks to Credo Schloss Unspunnen for the filming location and hospitality.

In this episode, Megan and Frank investigate the Mandela Effect. Why do so many people "remember" Nelson Mandela dying in prison in the 1980s, or the Fruit of the Loom logo as containing a cornucopia, or the existence of a movie starring Sinbad as a genie? What explains these collective mis-rememberings: parallel dimensions, a government cover-up, a glitch in the matrix? Or should we just conclude that human memory is inherently unreliable? How do false memories arise, and how can we distinguish the real from the imagined? Despite our cultural obsession with preserving every memory, could there be some value in forgetting the past? Thinkers discussed include Augustine of Hippo, Friedrich Nietzsche, Edmund Husserl, and Elizabeth Loftus.Hosts' Websites:Megan J Fritts (google.com)Frank J.

Johannes Zachhuber and Anna Marmodoro, eds., Gregory of Nyssa: On the Hexaemeron: Text, Translation, and Essays (Oxford UP, 2025) This book presents Gregory of Nyssa's On the Six Days of Creation (In Hexaemeron) as a specimen of Early Christian philosophy. It comprises Gregory of Nyssa's text in its Greek original accompanied by a new English translation, and seven accompanying essays by international specialists from diverse backgrounds. Each essay focuses on a section of the text and the arising philosophical issues. The essays complement each other in offering multiple perspectives on how Gregory's text may be approached philosophically and positioned in relation to other, more or less contiguous, philosophical theories, including the early Greeks Anaxagoras and Empedocles, Aristotle, and the Stoics. Rather than presenting a definite and exhaustive state of the art study of Gregory's text, this volume aims to open new pathways for research into In Hexaemeron. New Books in Late Antiquity is presented by Ancient Jew Review Johannes Zachhuber is professor of historical and systematic theology at Oxford. His books include Human Nature in Greogry of Nyssa, The Rise of Christian Theology and the End of Ancient Metaphysics, and Time and the Soul: from Aristotle to Augustine. Anna Marmodoro is Leonard and Elizabeth Eslick Professor of Philosophy at St. Louis University. She's written or edited half a dozen books including Metaphysics: an Introduction; Forms and Structures in Plato's Metaphysics; Aristotle on Perceiving Objects, and most recently she co-edited The Oxford Handbook of Omnipresence.
